Imagining this painting coming to life and heading out to visit other paintings.

As far as swords go, the gladius is still the goat.

It’s great but then you have to mop the floors.

The Romans steal and call it taxation, rape and call it marriage, murder and call it justice, and declare that the graveyard is peace.

(paraphrasing a guy whose name I don’t remember)

The Palworld suit is not an IP suit because whether or not Palworld was “cribbing” from Pokemon they were well within the bounds of the law. They don’t even have to claim parody - their designs are their designs, despite the clear inspiration.

The lawsuit is over software patents, most likely the patents that Nintendo has for throwing a ball in a virtual space to capture a creature and riding on a virtual creature, aka absolute specious bullshit.

Slaves built pyramids

Skilled craftsmen built the pyramids, slaves were mostly relegated to less prestigious work like farming.

That’s cool now could you tell your lawyers to go in a different direction with respect to mods and fan games?

I would reply, “If I’m curt with you it’s because time is a factor. See you on fucking Friday.”

41 miles as the crow flies, 81 miles by car for me.

Anyway I think the meme should be updated with Newton, since that follows the theme of “groundbreaking and famous physicists”.

If Tito was here, the Bosnians could go to the beach if they wanted to.

The ones I used to take ran every ten minutes and we would pack thirty to forty people on for each trip during rush hour. They really needed to bump it to one bus every five minutes from about 6am to 8am if only for safety reasons, but even packing them to standing capacity like we did I never worried that I wouldn’t be able to get on and get to work in the morning.

Similar in size to the bus I used to take to work every day when I lived in Japan. I miss being able to wake up thirty minutes before I had to be there and still making it on time.

druid wildshapes into an Owlbear

ehhh that’s well within the bounds of what a DM could homebrew, I’m thinking a custom subclass that grants wild shape into a limited list of non-beast creatures.

Classic DM move, stopping your players from having fun. That’ll surely make the game better.

Seriously though if everyone in the group isn’t on the same page tone-wise then the DM should talk to the player causing the issue outside of the game like an adult, and if everyone is on a different page from the DM then the DM should either adjust their expectations or move on.

I don’t have a washing machine so I end up using an overpriced laundromat (or visiting my parents lmao), but ever since I saw a tiktok of a tiny Japanese machine that was both a washer and a dryer one of those been at the top of my wish list. I don’t even care if it can only wash one or two sets of clothes at a time, that’s all I need.

Graham Hancock is a fraud who pushes a baseless conspiracy theory about an ancient civilization that spanned the globe that was destroyed before the last Ice Age. He’s successfully siphoned money away from serious archeological work with his specious bullshit, and right now he’s doing a series called Ancient Apocalypse where he pushes this hypothesis on Netflix. Looks like it’s going into Season 2 and Keanu Reeves appears in it.

Man I’ve often been confused at jobs too but the difference is that I’ve kept pushing through until I either figure it out or they fire me. So that’s my advice in this hypothetical, fake it till you make it.

UPDATE: A man in black arrived at my house after I posted an ad in the paper about finding the lost ring. He wasn’t much for conversation, but he seemed quite pleased to get the ring back.

Not my tailbone, but my hip, specifically where it joints with my leg. Fell while ice skating once as a teenager and every couple of years since I’ve gotten sharp pain in that joint that makes me almost immobile for a couple of weeks. Best I’ve ever gotten from a doc is a steroid shot to “hopefully” boost the healing.

Hasn’t happened in a while… knocks on wood.
